YWHO Core Components
Core components are the essential functions, principles, and activities required for an intervention to achieve its desired outcomes. Each YWHO site works with the YWHO Backbone to implement these evidence-based and evidence-generating components, including:
- Integrated Governance
- Partner Collaboration
- Integrated Location
- Evidence-Based or Evidence-Generating Services
- Youth Engagement
- Youth Centered & Developmentally Appropriate Services
- Family Engagement
- Use of Standardized Measures and Outcome Evaluations
- Brand Adoption
- Organizational Capacity, Approach and Culture Operating with Equity-Based Principles
- Equitable and Inclusive Access and Physical Space
- Equity Data Use
- Clinical and Cultural Specific Services that Reflect the Population Groups
By implementing these core components with fidelity, we are ensuring that youth and their families are receiving the best possible quality of care irrespective of the YWHO site they access.
